Tins force, counseled by under priests sent for the purpose by Lu-don, nnd with drawn within the temple grounds so thnt now the issue wan plainly marked ns between .In-don on the one side nnd Lti-don on the other, Tho former hnd been told of nil thnt hnd occurred In ho apartments of O-lo-n. to whose safety he had attended nt the first opportunity, nnd he had ala learned of Tnrznn's part In lending his men to the gathering of Lu-don's war riors. These, things hnd naturnllv increased the old warrior's former inclinations of friendliness toward the npe-mnn, nnd now he regretted thnt the other had de parted from tho city. The testimony of O-lo-n nnd Pnn-nt-lee wns such as to strengthen whatever belief In the godliness of the stranger Tn-don and others of the warriors hnd previously entertained, until presently there nppenred n strong tendency upon the pnrt of his polnro fnctioirto make the hor-ul-Otho an Issue of their orlg innl quarrel with Lu-don. Whether this occurred ns the natural sequenco to repeated narrations of the npe-manls exploits, which lost nothing by repetition, In conjunction with I.u don's enmity townrd him, or whether it wns the shrewd design of some wily old warrior such as .Tn-don, who renlizcd the value of ndding a religious cnuse to their tempornl one, it were difficult to determine; but the fnct re mained thnt .Tn-dofi's followers de veloped bitter hatred for tho followers of Lu-don becnuse of the high priest's antagonism to Tnrznn. Unfortunately, however, Tnrzan was not theie to inspire) the followers of Tn-don with (he holy zeal that might lravo quickly settled the dispute in the (Id chieftain's fnvor. Instead, ho was miles nway nnd because th'elr repeated prajers for hls presence were unan swered, the wenker spirits among them commenced to suspect that their cause did not hnve divine fuvnr. There was nlso nnothcr nnd n potent cnuse for defection from the ranks of Jn-don. It emanated from the city where the friends nnd iclntlves of the pnlnce war riors, who were largely nlso the friends "nnd relntivis pf Lu-don's forces, 'found me menus, urged on oy tlie pnestiiood, to circulate throughout the palace pernicious propaganda nimed nt Ja iIoh'h cause. The result was that Lu-don's power increased while that of Ja-don waned. Then followed a sortie from the temple which resulted in the defeat of tho pnlnce forces, nnd though they were nble ta withdraw in decent order with draw they did, lenving the palncc to Lu-don, who wns now virtually ruler of Pal -ul -don. .Tn-don, taking with him the princess, her women, nnd their slaves, including Pnn-nt-Iee, ns well ns the women and children of his faithful followers, ro trcuted not only from the palace but from the city of A-lur ns well nnd fell buck upon his owrf city of Jn-lur. Here lie remained, recruiting ills forces from tho surrounding villages of the North which, being far removed from tho In fluence of the priesthood of A-lur. were enthusiastic partisans in nny cause thnt tho old chieftain espoused, since for j cars he hnd been revered ns their friend und protector. And while thesei events were tran spiring in tho North. Tnrzan-Jad-guru lay in the lion pit nt Tu-lur while mes sengers passed back and forth between Mo-ar nnd Lu-don ns the two dickered for tho thione of 1'nl-iil-don. Mo-snr wns cunning enough to guess that should an open tirench occur between himself mid the high priest he might use hia prisoner to his own advantage, for he iiad heard whisperings among even his own people that suggested that there were thoio who wero more thnn a trifle inclined to belief in the divinity of the stranger and that he might, indeed, be the Dor-ul-Otho. Lu-don wanted Tnrzan himself. He wanted to sacrifice him upon the eastern altnr with his own linnds before 11 multitude of people, since lie wns not without evidence thnt his own stundiug nnd authority had been lessened by the claims of the bold and heroic figure of the stranger. The method that the high priest of Tu-lur had employed to trap Tarzan had left the npe-mnn In possession of his weapons, though theru seemed little likelihood of their being of nny hcrvlce to him. lie nlso nnd his pouch, in which were the various odds and ends which are the naturnl accumulation of all receptacles from it gold mewhbag to on attic. There were hits of obsidian and choice t'eatheis for nrrowti, some pieces of flint and a couple of steel, an old knife, n heavy bone needle, nnd strips of dried gut. 'Nothing very useful to you or me, perhaps; but nothing uselesf, to the savage life of the ape man. When Tnrzan realized the trick that had been so neatly played upon him lie hnd awaited expectantly tho coining of the lion, for, though the scent of ja was old ho was Mire that sooner or Inter they would let one of the bensts in npon him. His first com-ldcrntlon was a thorough exploration of his" prison. He had noticed thp hide-covered windows and these lie immediately uncovered, let ting in the light, und revealing the fnct thnt, though the chamber was far below the level of the temple courts, it wns jet many feet above the base of the lilll from which the temple was hewn. The windows were so closely barred thnt lu toiild not see over the edge of the thick wall In which they were cut to determine wjuit laj close iu below him.

Ruthless axes would raze that age-old wood; black, sticky smoke would rise from ugly chimneys against thnt azure sky; grimy little boats with wheels behind or upon either side would churn the mud from the bottom of .Ind-in-lill, turning its blue waters to a dirty brown; hideous piers would pro Jet t Into the lake fiom squalid build ings of coriugnteil Iron, doubtless, for of such are the pioneer cities of tho world.
